SSD1306 Font - ArialMT_Plain_10?

Question

I love your font generator.  I was curious where you got the ArialMT_Plain_10 font?   I was just going to go in and change it to a slightly smaller font for the display.

 I don't know if this is normal or not but I created a URW_Gothic_L_Book_8 font.  I had to change the line:

const char URW_Gothic_L_Book_8[] PROGMEM = {

To:

const uint8_t URW_Gothic_L_Book_8[] PROGMEM = {

 The compiler complained about it otherwise.

The drivers have been updated to use the 'const uint8_t' data type instead of char, sounds like the font generator needs updating too.

Fonts are interesting licence challenges as most are held under strict licence control only sources like Free Fonts are viable for wider use.
